“West Buckland is a sporty, outdoorsy place, with acres of playing fields and excellent facilities” – Good Schools Guide.
Sport has always been a significant part of life at West Buckland, and our alumni include numerous international sportsmen and women across a wide variety of disciplines. Major sports are played by students of all ages throughout the school, and participation is compulsory up to Year 11. After this, many students choose to continue with their favourite sport(s).
We also offer a wide range of additional sports and activities that focus not only on fitness, competition and discipline, but also on well-being and mental health.
Sports scholarships are offered to external students entering Year 7, 9 and 12. Internal sports scholarships are invited only through an internal monitoring process by the sports department. Sports scholars will benefit from a very comprehensive, structured and personalised strength and conditioning programme. Sports scholars will also be provided with the support to get onto the correct pathway to achieve their goals after West Buckland. In return we expect full commitment to West Buckland sport and an excellent attitude. Scroll down for more details. See our Scholarships page for application details.
